Sheffield United to Start Next Season with Two-Point Deduction

The English Football League imposed the penalty due to defaults on transfer payments, with additional sanctions pending further defaults.

Sheffield United will begin their next EFL season with a two-point deduction after failing to meet payment obligations during their promotion season.
A further two-point deduction is suspended and could be triggered if the club defaults on any future payments.
The financial penalties total £310,455, which the club has agreed to pay.
Sheffield United is currently at the bottom of the Premier League, nine points away from safety with seven games remaining.
The club has decided not to appeal the decision, opting instead to focus on future challenges and avoid potential higher penalties or legal complications.
